Transformers Legacy Star Raiders Deluxe & Voyager Found At US Retail

 

I found just a couple Feraks by themselves yesterday here in Northwest Ohio. No deluxes yet though.

 

Man, wish my stores looked like that. Only early Waves of Legacy Evolution & TF One stuff in all 5 of the local Wal-Marts here. Not even United showed up here yet. I'd have an easier time finding leprechauns......... 

 

Obviously, there are a bunch in the cereal section

 

I got Ferak at Collins Hill Walmart in Gerogia on Saturday afternoon. They has 4. I just assumed they had been out for a while since we never see stuff first around here.

 

Finally! Was starting to worry these would end up as unofficial online exclusives.

 

Fuckin finally, still a good chance my Walmart won't be one of the 8 Walmarts that actually manage to stock it

Why Walmart gets the fancy capsules when they clearly hate transformers I'll never know

 

They’re not at the Walmart closest to me yet. I’ll check the other one across town, but I’m not going to work myself into a frenzy looking for these since most of them are likely to be easy to find for months to come like the Toxitron stuff.

 

With Walmart it's definitely hard to tell. My local one got Velocitron (but no Scourge) and then didn't get Toxitron until it had already started clearancing elsewhere.

I think part of it is they're understaffed, so toys don't get the top priority if there's already stuff on the shelves. I know when Velocitron dropped the stores around me had gotten orders from on high to focus on getting their gardening section set up.

 

Perhaps I'll scoot myself over to Walmart today.

 

Gotta say I\'m not hopeful I\'ll ever see any of these in stores, the 3 Walmarts around me either never got or never stalked the Toxitron stuff last time. And so far it seems like the only United stuff any store around here (Target, Walmart, etc) gets is the voyagers, I still haven\'t seen a single United deluxe or leader. 

 

Huh! Know what's amazing about this?

It's front page news and Oklahoma was named!

This... there's a certain WM I sometimes get to that has never had any Toxitron capsule figures, but as of a couple weeks ago, had multiple TFO figures, including the SS TFO OP, SS Brawn, SS86 BB... which is like, "ok, and?" BUT they also are still offering (at full price):
Evolution Crosscut
Legacy TFP Arcee
SS86 Sweep

The other WM next town over (but literally, on the same road... straight drive from one lot entrance to the other) has remained so on-top of what's new that I got pretty much all my Toxitron Collection figures in-person from that store. It's where I expect my personal first sighting of Star Raiders.

Retail Giant is an economic Bullyionaire

 

They don't hate Transformers, they just have the clout to throw around demands and then don't really suffer consequences because people buy the stuff they get. You guys act like it's exclusively Transformers being booted around but Walmarts are also really weird about which stores do and do not get Masterverse, or even He-Man in general. I have one Walmart in my area that stocks Turtles of Greyskull despite that stuff flying off shelves.

 

 

I broke the seal, I paid over retail to import them and they show up the next week. You’re all welcome!

Found everything but Thundertron at the Walmart by my work this morning. 2 of everything except Filch. Road Pig was tempting but I just had to remember how much I hated Crashbar. Ferak is surprisingly tempting in person.

 

Meh... I would've also grabbed Cannonball when I was searching for Filch at local Walmart's 2 weeks ago. But ended up getting Filch through AliExpress. So I'll just stick with the original Cannonball.


These along with the Space Pirates (Seacons) are my official Star Raiders....

Don't need Walmart for anything else...

 

this time, you are one of the first  

Haha, but I thought you said you were able to get them for about what you'd pay them locally plus tax

 

About $2-3 over retail for the pair, still counts!

 

My store has gotten them in, just purchased Ferak and Cannonball.

 

Found Ferak this past weekend in O'Fallon, IL and a colleague in the Missouri sighting thread found the Deluxes across the river in Bridgeton, MO(St. Louis suburb). Got my Filch!

 

I found all 4 of the deluxe in Albany NY yesterday and one Feraks in Queensbury NY.
